Guild Wars 2

I don’t see the Ancestral Outfit (slot) in the wardrobe yet- it’s there if I’ve purchased it, though. Is there a reason for this?

This happans to several special skins, propably because anet does not want to spoiler them to new players.

That exactly. Several skins (so far, armor only) have been specified as hidden until obtained. This has been applied haphazardly.

Strangely enough, the API does not list the Ancestral Outfit as hidden. Being an outfit, it might not conform to the same rules.

I don’t see this being the reason in this case, since keeping a gemstore skin hidden is not a great way to make sales on the item.

Question : do you use the “big” wardrobe at the bank ? Or do you also don’t see it when you use the wardrobe in your Hero panel and click on the outfit-slot ?

I don’t think it’s the reason either. However, all but one of the hidden skins come from the gemstore.

The big wardrobe at the bank. I know the wardrobe tab in my hero panel only shows what I have unlocked, but I understand why you asked. It’s a fair question.
